Little Seed Field Glamping
Castiles Farm, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3PU

Enjoy a stargazing break to Nidderdale and experience the tremendous dark skies above Little Seed Field Glamping site with an expert astronomer from Go Stargazing.

Enjoy views of the crescent Moon as it sets in the evening dusk, then when the skies darken, observe incredible objects tens of millions of light-years distant through large telescopes.

There’ll also be astronomy presentations suitable for beginners and a telescope workshop — if you have your telescope, then bring it along for advice and tips. Bring your camera, too, for some astrophotography tuition!

Bookings include a delicious two-course meal on Saturday evening and hot chocolate and marshmallow toasting kits for every cabin!

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
